"...okay, look. I realize you're not on duty, but this is pretty serious. If you could come in and just help me take a look around-"> "Yeah."> She sighs, seeming to realize you weren't going to let this go so easily.> "Alright, we can do a sweep around.""Thank you."> Stepping back inside - into the warmth - you shiver as you realize just how frigid it had been outside.> Giving you a sympathetic look, Lana frowns.> "You don't have a coat?""I do. Just - not with me. We pegasi aren't too upset by the cold, though."> Your nose twitches as you glance over towards her - that perfume was strong!> "Hmm. So, what exactly did you see?""One pony - couldn't see what tribe, although they fled on hoof so it's probably not a pegasus. I was wondering if it was our missing unicorn perp from the break-ins-"> Perp?> You really were becoming familiar with their slang."-but I didn't get a chance to see what they were doing."> "So, just take a quick sweep around and check for anything obvious?""Yes. Any signs of attempted break-in, anything out of place, that sort of thing."> "Best to do the rooms facing the outside, then.""Agreed."> Moving down the hall, you begin to sweep the outer rooms.> Windows are few and far between, mostly mounted higher up; the wire reinforcing in them casts strange patterns in the light filtering through.> While much of the camp was cast in darkness during the late-night hours, the security station was always lit by streetlamps.> Tile floors, empty desks, racks of files and gently flashing computer carts - all are cast in a pale, patterned glow.> On the third room, Lana speaks up again.> "They'd have to be a complete idiot to try and break into the security office.""I wouldn't actually be that surprised."> Glancing over, you notice that she's begun to sweat.> It might just be the heavy coat, but..."Are you alright?"> "Yeah, just... nervous.""Nervous? Do I worry you that much?"
